Whiten Your Smile the Safe, Effective Way

Over time, it’s normal for teeth to stain or discolor especially if you enjoy coffee, tea, red wine, or just life. But you don’t have to settle for a dull smile. At Bates Dental Care, we offer both in-office and custom take-home teeth whitening solutions that deliver noticeable results safely and comfortably.

Whether you're getting ready for a wedding, a job interview, or just want to feel more confident in your smile, we’ll help you choose the option that works best for your goals, schedule, and lifestyle.

Consultation and Smile Assessment

We begin by evaluating your teeth, shade goals, and dental history to determine which whitening option will work best for you.

Treatment Option Selection

Choose between fast, in-office whitening for same-day results or custom take-home trays like Opalescence Go for flexibility and control.

Prep and Application

For in-office whitening, your gums are safely shielded while the whitening gel is applied, keeping the experience easy and comfortable.

Monitor and Refresh

We’ll check results during the process, and you may receive multiple short whitening sessions in a single visit if needed.

Aftercare and Maintenance Tips

You’ll go home with tips on how to maintain your results and what to avoid in the first 24–48 hours.

Honest Advice from Real People

No pressure and no pushy sales—just clear recommendations based on what works and what’s safe for your smile.

When Is Whitening a Good Option?

Teeth whitening works best for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to lift stains caused by foods, drinks, smoking, or aging. If your teeth are yellowed or slightly discolored, you’re likely a great candidate. However, whitening won’t change the color of crowns, fillings, or veneers, so we’ll help you understand what’s possible and set clear expectations.

It’s always a good idea to start with a dental exam before whitening, especially if it’s been a while. That way, we can make sure your teeth are in great shape and help you get the best results.

Maintaining Your Results

After whitening, your smile can stay bright for months or even years depending on your habits and hygiene. We’ll give you easy tips to extend your results, like avoiding dark beverages right after treatment, using a straw when possible, and maintaining regular cleanings.

If you choose take-home trays, you can even do periodic touch-ups to refresh your smile when needed. We’ll guide you on how often to use them safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments we offer. Here’s what people often ask before getting started.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients notice mild sensitivity, but it usually fades within a day or two. We use formulas that are enamel-safe and gentle.

How long do results last?

With good habits, results can last up to a year or longer. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks helps extend them.

What’s the difference between in-office and take-home whitening?

In-office is faster and more intense. Take-home trays offer flexibility and gradual results over 1 to 2 weeks.

 Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, when done under professional supervision. We use ADA-approved methods and only recommend options that are clinically proven.

Can I whiten crowns or fillings?

No, whitening works on natural enamel only. We’ll walk you through what’s realistic based on your dental work.

How soon can I eat or drink after whitening?

Avoid colored foods and drinks for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent new stains while your enamel settles.
